Arvo is Aussie slang for 'afternoon'. :)
 
So Speed Of Life is just an instrumental intro? It's good, but I feel perhaps more could have been done in the time given.

U2's Speed Of Life > Bowie's Speed Of Life. :wink:
 
And Breaking Glass was unexpectedly short. I was surprised when that faded out.

I feel like both Breaking Glass and What In The World would be better without the random electronic stuff. The guitar stands up well.

I never got your complete thoughts on my playlist. What did you think overall?

I gave it a B, about the same as LeMel. I loved your first disc, but your second disc was a mixed bag, to me. Didn't like the first couple of songs, and didn't really feel like the live stuff worked all that well. Still, yours and LeMel's are pretty good.

PFan, Sound And Vision's the best song so far.

Coincidentally or not, it's also the most famous song from the album.

Of the first four, Sound and Vision and Speed of Life are my two favorite songs.
 
Always Crashing In The Same Car's even better than Sound And Vision.

Be My Wife's got some good sounding music too.

Not sold on Bowie's voice.
 
I'm surprised by how short the songs are. Some could really use more length.
 
Always Crashing is my favourite so far. A New Career wasn't a bad instrumental.

Quite a noticeable change in sound from Side A to Side B with the start of Warszawa. If the rest of the song is as good as the first two minutes, this will be even better than Always Crashing. Also, nice to have a song that looks like it has a decent runtime!
 
Wow, Warszawa is very atmospheric. I like it. I actually think I still prefer Always Crashing, but this is also a favourite.

Tend to agree with most of this, though I've never really disliked Bowie's voice past some of his early albums.

Brian Eno co-wrote it, by the way.
 
I :love: Bowie's voice...from the 70's at least. Not sure about it lately.
